Big News -- Chapter alumni/ae now invited to join the Career Network!

Alumni/ae add tremendous value to the career network. First, they can participate in career activities as speakers and networking reception participants. Second, they can enlist as mentors to match with one or more students to provide career planning tips, advice, and references. Last, they can use the career network to advance their own careers by applying for upper management positions posted on our job board.

Similar to students, there's absolutely no cost for alumni/ae to join the career network.

Spread the word! We're looking to create the world's largest and most effective career mentor network for Greeks-only!

Update your Chapter and Campus Involvement

Now that employers can view profiles, many are looking closely at candidates who are actively involved on campus. They believe the skills and experience gathered through organization leadership transfer into the workplace.

What employers look for in resumes

The typical employer initially spends about 15 seconds reviewing each resume. If you want to create an outstanding resume, you need to quickly capture the reader's attention as quickly as possible.

The first tip is to put yourself in the shoes of the reviewer and ask, “what type of person and skills do we need for this position.” The best way to answer this is to have a thorough understanding of the employer, its needs, and the responsibilities of the position.
